Sony Xperia Ear Duo (XEA20)

Sony Xperia Ear Duo is not just a wireless headset, but an intelligent assistant that will tell you the weather forecast, report a scheduled meeting, listen to music, make calls and hear the surrounding sounds.

Technological "chips"

The "trick" of the model lies in the fact that it does not isolate the user from the sounds of the surrounding world (in the naming of Sony's proprietary technologies, this function is called Dual Listening). Depending on the level of external noise, the headset automatically adjusts the volume of music or speech of the interlocutor, for which we must thank another implemented technology — Clear Phase.

Flexibility in management

Headphones integrate with Google Assistant and Siri voice assistants, highlighting user commands from other sounds through four built-in microphones. In addition, Sony Xperia Ear Duo supports touch control and simple head rotation functions (for example, you can answer an incoming call with a nod, and switch music tracks with a head turn). Gesture interaction is achieved through the built-in accelerometer and gyroscope, in addition, the model has a barometer, proximity sensor and electronic compass on board.

Charging on the go

In talk mode or listening to music, the headset works for about 4 hours. However, you can replenish the energy reserves in the headphone battery directly “on the go” — a battery is built into the case for carrying them, the full tanks of which are enough to charge the wearable gadget three times. As an added bonus, the model is IPX2 splash-proof. The main goal of creating Sony Xperia Ear Duo is that users are less likely to be distracted by the screen of their smartphone. And the headset handles with it with a bang. It would have had a lower price tag and the number of people wishing to acquire a technologically savvy product would have grown significantly.
